Weekend Fun

Cartoons often serve as scathing and witty social commentary.

Here is one I find particularly accurate, illustrating two common marketing techniques.

First, state the obvious as a "new" development (during the Atkins craze, many bottles of olive oil, which is 100% fat, boasted about their absence of carbs -- duh!).

Then, charge four times as much to make the product appear healthier or special.

Most recently, I expressed my disgust at Borba Skinwater.
